When ScalaIDE detects an error in the source code, it underlines it the same

  • 0

When ScalaIDE detects an error in the source code, it underlines it the same way the JDT does. However, to view the error message, I have to move the mouse over the red icon that’s on the left of the line number. And to choose a quickfix I have to press Ctrl+1 while the cursor is on the error.

In JDT I can just hover over the error and it shows me the error message plus all possible fixes.

Is it possible to activate that functionality for Scala somewhere? I didn’t find anything in the settings.

This is on Eclipse 4.2 and ScalaIDE 2.1.0 M3.

    Yes this is irritating.

    I have the Problems tab visible as standard and you error will be printed there as well so you can see it directly without hovering.

    To enable the tab: Windows -> show view -> Problems
